This verse is about the body of Christ. There will be a class of individuals who conform to preordained standards. The heavenly Father planned this class even before the foundation of the world. God purposed to grant the Christ (Jesus and his body members) [...]
The Bible does not give us a description of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. However, we do believe it was a literal tree with literal fruit which looked appealing. Genesis 3:6 (NIV), "the fruit of the tree was good for food [...]
Practicing homosexuality is forbidden in the Bible. (Leviticus 20:13) Our hearts go out to those struggling with these feelings. Those dear ones will need to lead a celibate life. (Please recognize: many heterosexuals are also celibate. Celibacy is practiced for a variety of different [...]
This question has a misplaced focus. Parents have children in order to bless them - not ourselves. We are to love and nurture them as well as to delight in their development. The Bible is full of admonitions to instruct our children in righteousness. [...]
